Device for Tapping Userful Data From Multimedia Links in a Packet Network

Abstract

In one aspect, a method for tapping useful data of multimedia data connections in a packet network is provided. Useful data that includes a plurality of subcomponents is provided. One of the subcomponents is separated from the useful data and sent to an interception device. The useful data is transmitted to a receiver.

1 .- 8 . (canceled)  
     
     
         9 . A method for tapping a useful data of a multimedia data connection in a packet network, comprising: 
 providing the useful data comprising a plurality of subcomponents;    separating one of the subcomponents from the useful data and sending the separated subcomponent to an interception device, and    transmitting the useful data to a receiver,    wherein the separating does not remove the separated subcomponent from the useful data.    
     
     
         10 . The method as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the separation is done by setting up at least two connections.  
     
     
         11 . The method as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the separation is done by issuing at least two packet addresses within the framework of a single connection.  
     
     
         12 . The method as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the separation is done in the terminal.  
     
     
         13 . The method as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the separation is done in a device assigned to the terminal.  
     
     
         14 . The method as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the separation is done in any device in the network.  
     
     
         15 . The method as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the separated subcomponent is voice data.  
     
     
         16 . A device for tapping a useful data from multimedia links in a packet network, comprising: 
 a useful data formed from a plurality of subcomponents;    a separator that creates a first connection to a receiver and a second connection to an interceptor and that separates at least one subcomponent from the useful data; and    a transmitter that transmits the separated component to the interceptor and transmits the useful data to the receiver,    wherein the separator does not remove the separated subcomponent from the useful data.    
     
     
         17 . The device as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the separated subcomponent is voice data.  
     
     
         18 . A device for tapping a useful data from multimedia links in a packet network, comprising: 
 a useful data formed from a plurality of subcomponents;    a separator that creates a single connection via a plurality of packet addresses and that separates at least one subcomponent from the useful data; and    a transmitter that transmits the separated component to an interceptor and transmits the useful data to a receiver,    wherein the separator does not remove the separated subcomponent from the useful data.    
     
     
         19 . The device as claimed in  claim 18 , wherein the separated subcomponent is voice data.
